Photocatalysis, a technology that harnesses solar energy for the production of hydrogen via water splitting or the degradation of pollutants, is regarded as a promising strategy for addressing environmental issues in a sustainable manner. Among the various organic materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been identified as a promising candidate for photocatalysis due to their exceptional properties. These include tunability, crystallinity, stability, a large surface area and high porosity, and a low density [1]. Moreover, the integration of functional materials, such as quantum dots, with COFs represents a promising strategy for extending the absorption properties of these materials into the visible light region. This approach has the potential to enhance the photocatalytic performance of COFs by improving the separation and transfer of charge carriers [2].
This study presents the development of a novel class of porous organic frameworks-based photocatalysts by combining covalent triazine frameworks with CuInS2 quantum dots into a hybrid system via a post-modification approach. The influence of quantum dot size and amount on the optical, surface and photocatalytic properties of hybrid materials was investigated. Furthermore, the photoexcitation mechanism of covalent organic frameworks-based hybrids in the photocatalytic hydrogen production process was explored and proposed.
This research was funded by National Science Centre, Poland within the program OPUS 21, grant no. 2021/41/B/ST4/04393.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
